It all started here...

Back in July I went through a lot of life changes! I was depressed and alone. I got diagnosed w/ Bipolar Dissorder. My best friend Cat, who moved to Texas two years ago to be w/ her dad, said I should come visit her and take a few months off. I couldn't. I have work and a life. I didn't want to lose the only job i had.

For the past year or so, I've been wanting to persue college again. But didn't know how, where, when. So one day about of the blue, I thought I could apply to the community college Cat goes to. Since they have on site housing. I would see how much financial aid I'd get, and if enough, to cover school and housing, I'd go. Right then, a snowball of things started hapening saying the doors were open to go!

I began praying "God Idk what you want. I am going to peruse this. But if you don't want this to happen, that's fine. Just show me what you want. Close doors and open them in whatever direction you want and I'll obey." Right away doors opened for Texas. A few days later one of my roommates said they were moving out w/in two months. The next week the other roommate said if a potential roommate didn't work out, she too was moving out. Financial aid came through very abundantly. I told my close friends on a thursday nite that I was deff. thinking this was a go, and to pray for me. I asked them to pray for me as I'd be talking to both my mom and my roommates the next day. I had breakfast w/ my mom. I told her. I asked her "are you upset w/ me" her answer was "no, i'm not upset w/ you. If this is where God's calling you, i have no rite telling you to stay." Now, this was not a response from my mom! I was expecting bucketts of tears. Questions like "are you leaving me, will you be back, exc." I began fearing talking to my roommates, but God said "if I worked this out w/ your mom, why are you fearing now." I told them. One was very suportive. The other more hurt.

During all this time, i was also applying to other community colleges here. But I'd still have to work full time and go to school. Schooling is very hard for me. So i envision this taking a toll on me. Low and behold, though, I got a letter saying that I couldn't get financial aid here b/c I applied somewhere else! A few days later, another college here (which i thought would be the one i would go to here) also said I couldn't continue b/c of other applications, exc. All signs that God was closing doors!

One day I went to Montco to get my transcripts sent. this was a long, rough day for me!~ They said I owed $70 and wouldn't be able to get them. I prayed and went through a lot of "talk to him, talk to her, go back to him exc." I asked if I could pay $20 now, and the rest later. They informed me that I couldn't. Finally, a manager walked up and said "this is too much of a hassel. We will take the $20 and call it even!" Didn't have to pay the $50 balance! As I was finishing up, the lady at a diff. window said goodbye, then said "could you pray for me? I lost an important peice of jewlrey I can't find." I was amazed that she would say this to me! How did she know i would pray? You don't just say it to random people.

I'm sure that there's more! But my mind just has soo much going on. So anyway, this is where it all started!...
